Deconstructing Donald Trump's "Hucksters Knack" For Using Language

Really interesting video which looks at the way Donald Trump uses words and language as a presidential contender.

Sounds wonky, but the narrator makes excellent sense as he points out the repetition and construction of the Donald's speech.

Fox News Analyst Calls President Obama "A Total Pussy" On Live TV

Lt. Col. Ralph Peters

Fox News analyst Lt. Col. Ralph Peters, ever the classy guy, summed up his opinion of President Obama's speech to the nation last night by telling Fox News' Stuart Varney that the President of the United States is "a total pussy."

On live TV.

From Talking Points Memo:

“Look, Mr. President! We’re not afraid, we’re angry! We’re pissed off, we’re furious! We want you to react! We want you to do something! You’re afraid!” Peters said, raising his voice when asked for his reactions during Obama’s primetime speech.

“This guy is such a total pussy, it’s stunning,” Peters continued.

Once he had finished, Varney said he knows Peters is “super angry” but chastised him for using the sexual slur.

“I can tell you are super angry, and I asked you for your reaction, but you can’t use language like that on the program,” he told the guest.

Peters then criticized the President for focusing on gun control in the wake of the shooting rampage in San Bernardino, California, saying while the Founding Fathers did not intend for “every drunk [sic] psycho to have a machine gun collection,” Obama shouldn’t prevent law-abiding citizens from owning guns.

“Law abiding Americans owning guns is not the problem here, the problem is Islamist terrorism, and the the President will not even say Islamist terrorism,” he said.

Varney again cut in to scold Peters for his language.

“You used some very strong language there about the President of the United States. I’m the anchor of 'Varney & Co.' and I have to ask you to either apologize for that or take it back,” the host said.

Peters responded “I apologize” without missing a beat.

TV ad demonstrates why "faggot" is unacceptable

The No Homophobes Campaign recently released a television ad meant to counter the still offense but often used word "faggot."

From PinkNews: The TV commercial bleeps over obviously unacceptable swearwords and other forms of abuse until a woman says “gay faggot”. The advert then asks “when will homophobic language be unacceptable too?”

Last year the campaign published Twitter tracking figures to show that the word “faggot” was used more than 2.5 million times between July and September 2012. In just one week, it was in 219,000 tweets.

Dr Kristopher Wells, the University of Albertaʼs Institute for Sexual Minority Studies and Services associate director said: “We no longer tolerate racist language, weʼre getting better at dealing with sexist language, but sadly we still see and hear homophobic and transphobic language in our society."
